Olympia Grand — Local services in London

I visited the Olympia to attend the media production and technology show on Wednesday at midday. It was easy to get to via public transport with the Kensington Olympia station right outside the entrance, I wouldn’t recommend driving due to traffic, cost and parking.

As expected it was very busy but no queues or waiting outside, the staff at the entrance searched bags, then gave attendees a lanyard for their passes and the whole process only took a minute or so.

The stands were placed apart nicely and navigation was easy around the exhibition. It was well lit but as the day progressed it became warmer and warmer which could be because the exhibition had a lot of electronics powered up from the exhibitors.

There were plenty of places to eat within the exhibition and buy food and drinks, toilets were clean and enough. The atmosphere was friendly and busy with a real excitement and buzz about being there.

The architecture like the high ceiling and were beautiful and worth seeing while there, the glass roof filled with exhibition space with tons of natural light too.

Overall a great day out in a beautiful building and highly recommended to anyone thinking of attending an event.

Security are thorough on the doors so don't try to take alcohol in ! Food outlets at all events are quite pricey.. advise you to take your own snacks and a spare drink. Signposting to toilets is ok. However you will find it's a considered thing breaking away from what you're looking at to queue for one. Several exhibitions can be on at a time therefore pay attention to the entrance point suggested on your ticket or you'll end up walking round the block getting confused. There's a handy Tesco Express across the road to pick up aforementioned snacks. Transport links are go with an Olympia overhead train that takes you northwards to Wilsden and southwards to Clapham junction. Buses go...

If you are just visiting London for a weekend trip or as a stop off to a tour around the UK, Olympia Grand is a good starting point but check the website first for events tickets which can be purchased at a slight discount price if you subscribe to the site's emails.

I have been to the Christmas event here before and it has a large selection of fine dining food stalls with a vaste range of food outlets to choose from for gifts or just for personal buys.

The events at the Olympia exhibition halls, are usually spectacular so worth the entrance fee of £12 approx.

Then from there, the high street in Kensington is not far away and all the buses going towards Kensington High St tube station are approx....
